“Off she goes. A popular Dance arranged as a Rondo for the Piano Forte by P*K.” [1803]
Philip Knapton (1788–1833)

Also for piano forte by Knapton: Lyr/Tune Req: Caller Herrin'

PS RE: Instrumental-v-chants-v-sailors &c: I've got 60+ pre-1830 referrences that use the words "song" & "singing" to define the sounds that sailors made when going about tasks in unison. Instrumental/accompanied/a cappella are all good.
